I was wondering where you'd garnered that info.  IMHO, it should have been
posted to comp.os.vms and also to the VMS-SIG list.  The new-fangled social
media mechanisms might be fine for others but I find them way too busy with
way too much noise to sift through to find anything of real interest.  Both
comp.os.vms and the VMS-SIG list have a long history of VMS-focused banter,
and either would be the first place I'd expect news about VMS to appear.  I
realize that there's some expectation that social media can somehow garner
new VMS advocates, but dissing or ignoring the base/faithful isn't sage.
